I'm glad to see Plant/Krauss this high again! But this chart with all these numbers and labels isn't really clear and it's hard to figure out which album is at which position. But anyway thanks for posting it

Tim McGraw and Reba McEntire each have 22 No. 1s, Garth Brooks, 19, Kenny Chesney, 16, and Keith Urban has nine. Brooks and Strait share the honor for most No. 1s during the '90s with 17 each, while Toby Keith is this decade's leader with 15. Also notable is Brad Paisley, who is enjoying an active streak of nine No. 1 singles in a row, the format's longest No. 1 run since Alabama strung together a whopping 21 consecutive leaders from 1980 to 1987.

American Idol's Grand Ole Opry week helped put several country tracks in the upper reaches of Nielsen SoundScan's current digital tracks chart. The Carrie Underwood/Randy Travis duet version of I Told You So makes its chart debut at 8, with 106,000 downloads.

Rascal Flatts' Here Come Goodbye, co-written by Chris Sligh, set a record last week for first-week downloads for a country track. Even with a second-week drop-off of 43 percent, Flatts manages a respectable 73,000, for a two-week total of 198,000 and a chart position of 15. Brad Paisley's Then, which got its TV debut on Idol last Wednesday, debuts at 18, with 64,000 sales. Carrie's Home Sweet Home drops 65 percent in its second week out, selling 39,000, enough at keep her in the Top 40 at 37 and bring the track's total to 151,000.

Randy Travis is back!

Randy Travis' I Told You So: The Ultimate Hits Of Randy Travis debuts at #21, one week after the country veteran made twin appearances mentoring and performing on American Idol. This is Travis' third-highest charting album, following Around The Bend, which debuted at #14 in July 2008 and 1987's Always & Forever, which reached #19. Travis' first six albums were released before the advent of Nielsen/SoundScan, which has done a much better job of reflecting the true popularity of country (and rap, for that matter) than Billboard's old chart system did. If Nielsen/SoundScan had been in place in 1987, I have no doubt that Always & Forever would have at least made the top 10. Always & Forever topped the country chart for 43 weeks, a total topped by only one album in the chart's 45-year history: Shania Twain's 1997 blockbuster Come On Over, which logged 50 weeks at #1.

Mrs. Garth Brooks' first two albums in 1991 and 1992 each produced four top 20 hits, a feat she repeated just once more, in 1998-99. From 1991 through 1999, she charted 21 top 20 hits on Hot Country Songs, third-best among women in that span, trailing only Reba McEntire (33) and Patty Loveless (22). Five of those songs reached No. 1. This decade, Yearwood's notched six top 20 titles.

Still, every first single released from each of her 10 studio albums has reached the top 20, including the title cut from "Heaven, Heartache and the Power of Love." The song reached No. 19 in 2007.

On the Top Country Albums chart, Yearwood has been remarkably consistent. Nine of her studio albums have reached the top 10; she missed only with the No. 12-peaking "Hearts in Armor" in 1992. In fact, she's enjoyed her biggest successes on the album tally this decade, when she's earned both of her No. 1 studio albums: "Inside Out" (2001) and "Jasper County" (2005). (She scored her first and only other chart-topper with the retrospective "Songbook (A Collection of Hits)" in 1997.

Here is a look at the sales of Yearwood's studio sets, according to Nielsen SoundScan:

Her best-seller is "Songbook (A Collection of Hits)," which has shifted 2,936,000 units. Her entire catalog totals 10,156,000 in sales.

You can hear the two-time Country Music Assn. Female Vocalist of the Year's most recent work on Chris Isaak's new album, "Mr. Lucky." The two duet on "Breaking Apart." Isaak wrote the song with Diane Warren, whose enormous catalog of hit songs includes two top 10s on Hot Country Songs for Yearwood: "How Do I Live" and "I'll Still Love You More."

Monday, March 30, 2009 – Taylor Swift notches the fourth number one country single. White Horse, from Swift's triple-platinum Big Machine Records sophomore album "Fearless," claims the top spot atop the USA Today/Country Aircheck chart (powered by Mediabase), reaching a radio audience of more than 34 million listeners this week alone. Swift's run of number 1s began in 2007 when Our Song spent 6 weeks at number 1. Also this week, Taylor surpassed the 200 million mark for music streams on MySpace.

Good news. There's a new #1 on Top Country Albums.
The sweetest girl from Kansas: Martina McBride!

Martina McBride, Shine, 45,000. This new entry is the country star's fifth top 10 album. Shine bumps Taylor Swift's Fearless from the #1 spot on the country album chart after 18 weeks on top. McBride has been voted Female Vocalist Of The Year by the Country Music Assn. four times. That puts her in a tie with Reba McEntire for the most wins ever in that category. No songs from the album are listed on Hot Digital Songs.
